Brian Haas

Hello! My name is Brian Haas. I am the athletic trainer and physical education teacher here at Kearney High School. I graduated from the University of Nebraska at Kearney's athletic training program in 2007. In 2009 I completed my Masters in Educational Administration from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln while working as a graduate assistant athletic trainer. My wife and I returned to Kearney in 2012 and I began working as assistant athletic trainer at KHS. In 2018, I was hired as a physical education teacher which allowed me to land my dream job. I am fortunate to teach Outdoor Pursuits and Intro to Sports Medicine. When I am not teaching I am spending my time in the athletic training room keeping Bearcat athletes safe, healthy, and performing their best. My wife Audra works at Bryant elementary. We love living in Kearney and being part of the KPS community. In my free time I enjoy paddling Nebraska's waterways, hiking, camping, and taking our dog Rigby for walks.
